TO GO WITH Mekong-China-women-trafficking-crime by Suy SE and Aidan JONES
This photo taken on October 2, 2018 shows Nary (R), a Cambodian victim of forced marriage to a Chinese man, sitting with her mother on the steps of their family home in Phnom Penh. - Everyone did well from Nary's marriage to a Chinese man, except the young Cambodian bride herself, who returned home after a six-year ordeal destitute, humiliated and with little prospect of ever seeing her son again. Poverty drives many women from the Mekong region to gamble on marriage in China, double-locked by low education levels and a social expectation to provide for parents. Nary's name has been changed on her request. (Photo by TANG CHHIN Sothy / AFP) / TO GO WITH Mekong-China-women-trafficking-crime by Suy SE and Aidan JONES
